Snorkeling Spots

Mnemba Island snorkeling spots are located along the Matemwe Beach strip. We arrange your boat trip to the Atoll, where you can explore various spots teeming with marine biodiversity. It is best to snorkel when the tide starts to come in for the highest visibility.

The Sea Horse Treasure

One of the highlights of Mnemba is spotting the Hippocampus (sea horse). These rare creatures are masters of camouflage and can be hard to find. They belong to the Syngnathidae family and are famous for the males carrying the pregnancy.

Underwater History

For those interested in more than just fish, the Great Northern wreck (sunk in 1900) offers a glimpse into the past. Though the hull is broken, it has become part of the reef system and is now home to many species of coral and fish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mnemba is a private island. While we snorkel and dive in the surrounding Atoll and Marine Park, landing on the island itself is reserved for its resort guests. The best snorkeling is done from the boat in the protected reefs.

While dolphins are wild animals and sightings can never be 100% guaranteed, the area around Mnemba is one of the best places in Zanzibar to see them. Our experienced captains know the best spots to find them.
